Writing code to find a Shelveset associated with a CodeReview Request work item

Question

I am new to C# (coming from Java) and am trying to write a report that counts the number of code reviews done.

I have no trouble iterating through the code review requests. When a code review is associated with a changeset, I use the following code which works fine:

Changeset changeset = versionControlServer.GetChangeSet(int.Parse(
    workItem.Fields["Associated Context"].Value.ToString()), true, true);

I am trying to do the equivalent with Shelvesets.

I am able to iterate through all the Shelvesets using the following code:

foreach (Shelveset shelveset in versionControlServer.QueryShelvesets(null,null) {
    Console.WriteLine(shelveset.Name);
}

Unfortunately, when I try to do the same command based on the name previously printed out, I get nothing returned. The following code returns an empty list.

foreach (Shelveset shelveset in versionControlServer.QueryShelvesets("ShelvesetName",null)) 
{
    Console.WriteLine(shelveset.Name);
}

Could someone help me to understand what I need to change so that versionControlServer.QueryShelvesets("ShelvesetName",null) returns the shelveset with the name that matches the Associated Context of the CodeReviewRequest work item?

Your code is correct and I have tested that. Make sure the "ShelvesetName" is correct. Open that code review workitem and check if the name is wrong. If possible, please post the complete code snip here for future testing. — Tingting0929, Mar 28 '17 at 08:40
Thanks very much! Your confirmation really helps. I will check — Larry Freeman, Mar 28 '17 at 14:10
The issue turned out to be that the owner is null. Once I changed this to a string such as "NW\\LFreeman", the call worked for me. — Larry Freeman, Mar 29 '17 at 02:58
Interestingly, if both owner and name are null, I get all Shelvesets. It only returns empty if name is not null but owner is. — Larry Freeman, Mar 29 '17 at 03:36
Which version of TFS you use and which of the TFS API version you use, 12.0 or 14.0? — Tingting0929, Mar 29 '17 at 08:06
